Pulsar 20

ST 20Floor standing speaker

The curved shape of the cabinet has two purposes: it looks superb, and also provides outstanding strength and rigidity.

High-quality bi-wiring and bi-amping terminals.Speakers are supplied as standard with spikes for effective iso-lation, including floor pads to protect sensitive surfaces.

The Pulsar ST 20 is an extremely slim, compact floor standing loudspeaker

which combines outstanding acoustic qualities with sleek appearance. It

is a new design which we have developed from the ground up, and which

features the very latest high-performance drivers, as this was the only

way our development engineers were able to fulfil the design brief for this

new range of speakers. Although their cabinets are small in size, we re-

quired the new Pulsars to have the ability to radiate low bass cleanly and

at high pressure, at the same time reproducing an open, uncoloured treble

/ mid-range with great vitality. These are the reasons behind our decisi-

on to adopt a complex three-way system, based on two long-throw bass

units, a wide band mid-range and a High-End dome tweeter. All speaker

cones are produced from aluminium of various thicknesses using special-

ly calculated embossing tools, ensuring that they are very stiff and strong,

but still light in weight. The drive unit magnets are extremely powerful,

while the magnet and suspension systems are of highly sophisticated

design, and made from the finest materials available. As a result these

High-End drivers are capable of generating tremendous levels as well as

being amazingly dynamic and fast. A precisely calculated cross-over unit

consisting of low-loss components guarantees that all the drivers are fed

the perfect signal in the optimum working range for excellent radiation

characteristics. The crossovers have separate grounds for bass and mid-

high range, making the speakers ideal for bi-wiring arrangements.

R 20Bookshelf speaker

The bass reflex port is located on the rear of the speaker, and can be damped if necessary. The bottom of the cabinet fea-tures recessed threaded sockets to take spikes or glides.

The Pulsar R 20 is a compact bookshelf speaker, incorporating techno-

logy derived from the ST 20 floor stander. The refined cabinet is beauti-

fully built, with the same curved shape and rigid design. All surfaces are

rubbed down in a multi-stage process before the high-gloss lacquer is

applied. The finish is of superb quality!

The High-Tech treble unit with its special 25 mm dome is a completely

new development, and is the same driver employed in the ST 20. The 150

mm long-throw bass unit, on the other hand, is a modified version, becau-

se the R 20 is a classic two-way design, and this driver therefore also has

to reproduce the mid-range. In spite of the R 20’s relatively small cabinet,

its bass is tremendously impressive, and the speaker offers a lively, very

natural sonic image. The R 20 sounds much “bigger” than it actually is!

An important design feature of the new Pulsar speakers is the totally

smooth baffle, devoid of corners or edges: there is no hint of a screw or

recess which could disturb the sound dispersion or generate reflections.

The driver chassis are covered by accurately shaped pressure-cast alumi-

nium rings which lie perfectly flush with the baffle. This impressive sophi-

stication enables the sound to disperse perfectly, and the sonic image is

completely detached from the loudspeaker. The result is incredibly preci-

se and spacious reproduction with totally accurate source positioning.

The new bass units have complex baskets made of pressure-cast aluminium and extremely powerful magnets, while the latest type of suspension system is capable of tremendous excursion.
